The Elite Inc.

NO ACTION. The Canaveral Port Authority said Friday that The Elite Inc., a Winter Park company that wants to launch a members-only floating casino next month, has not paid the second half of its deposit for a berth. The $25,000 was due Nov. 15, but the authority is not pressing. Ken Karpinski, the authority's deputy director, said the company's ship in Sweden apparently has labor problems that have prevented its departure. Elite, which had planned to pay the balance of the deposit from membership dues, cannot use those funds until the ship leaves for the United States, he said.
